[Verse 1]
Hand-me-down shoes
Holes in the floor of my room
Mom praying over late bills
I was plotting on a breakthrough
Lunch line, pockets full of lint
Got laughed at, same kids now ask for a pic
Whole lotta nights I was talking to the ceiling
Like “if I make it out, I’ma really mean it”
[Chorus]
Started from the bottom, now I shine in silence
Turned all of that dirt to diamonds
Yeah, you broke my heart, but you just made me harder
Thanks for turning pain to power
Started from the bottom, now I move in private
You were just a detour, I’m still driving
Played me for a fool, now you watch from the side
While I turn your lies to a highlight
[Verse 2]
You said I was “different,” you said I was “yours”
Funny how your phone died every time it stormed
You were in his car, I was in my grind
You were on games, I was on my time
Tears in my sink, I was drowning in the drain
Till I wiped my face and I wrote it in my veins (yeah)
Now I see the flags when they start sweet-talking
Smile to my face, but the eyes keep walking
[Chorus]
Started from the bottom, now I shine in silence
Turned all of that dirt to diamonds
Yeah, you broke my heart, but you just made me harder
Thanks for turning pain to power
Started from the bottom, now I move in private
You were just a detour, I’m still driving
Played me for a fool, now you watch from the side
While I turn your lies to a highlight
[Bridge]
I don’t hate you, I’m just distant (so distant)
You were chapter two, not the ending (not the ending)
You were talking “forever” for the moment
I was talking “forever” and I meant it (yeah)
[Chorus]
Started from the bottom, now I shine in silence
Turned all of that dirt to diamonds
Yeah, you broke my heart, but you just made me harder
Thanks for turning pain to power
Started from the bottom, now I move in private
You were just a detour, I’m still driving
Played me for a fool, now you watch from the side
While I turn your lies to a highlight
